Community Cape
Gabe earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Gabe completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Gabe was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.
Gabe has done their first good deed with GoodGym. 🎉

Tower Hamlets Report written by John Shirley
GoodGymers arrived from all parts of Bethnal Green and Mile End. And not just from there. Nia came all the way from India, partly to do the task, but also because she was greatly missing our lovely January weather. Mile-End-Emma arrived from Australia, quite recently, and new-boy Gabe (welcome Gabe) claims to live outside Tower Hamlets altogether, over there in The City. Even though nobody lives in The City. And we all arrived bang on time - except for the usual tardy suspects, of course...
Nia, Lobo, Gabe and Bethnal-Green-Emma, were using their artistic talent to paint chairs (Bethnal) green, as well as varnishing a table and chair. Lucinda and Mile-End-Emma were filling gaps in a brick wall, doing a great job (according to Mile-End-Emma). Several miles away, at the other end of the estate, Ilana, Ciarán and Bethnal-Green-Emma were restoring a graffiti-covered wall. Closer to home, Rohan and I practised for our future potential careers as dentists pulling teeth, as we yanked nails from planks of wood, using the back ends of hammers
All this vigorous work was our best bulwark against the cold. But January isn’t over yet - there’s still a special Tuesday task at Ocean Youth tonight, then Saturday lunchtime at Rocky Park, and the usual Felix Project tasks the same day. Be there or be somewhere else!

Nice report, John! You record all the varied endeavours of the mission team with great panache! Scattered all over the sprawling Glass House site of the Parkview Estate made it difficult to keep track of all the hard toil going on. But, here you warmly, and helpfully, collated all of the activities for posterity, with the steely vigour and playful touches we brought along with us.

That said, please can I add a small detail... Twas I the fourth member of Carpentry Corner! Of course, we do well to give full dues to Emma, who learnt had led the way with previous green chair restoration. However, last night saw a quartet of Goodgymers expand Emma's impressive first chair into a modest patio's worth of revived outdoor furniture, with notable contributions: meticulously thorough sanding (Gabe), fearless and copious painting (Nia), fine chat about the pros and cons of variable daylight hours in accordance with latitude (Lobo), and years of wooden slatted bistro table-owner maintenancd insight (Dan). If the paint had dried before departure, we might have been tempted to sit out and take in the impact of this Monday mission magic.
